Defensive back Logan Ryan faced the possibility of his NFL career ending when he embarked on a late-November Disney cruise to the Bahamas with his family. However, fate had other plans as he ended up signing with the San Francisco 49ers late in the season, ultimately culminating his 11-year career with an appearance in Super Bowl LVIII. Ryan expressed gratitude towards each of the five teams he played for throughout his career, acknowledging their roles in shaping his journey in professional football. Specifically, he thanked the 49ers for providing him with the opportunity to join their organization, highlighting the camaraderie within the team and their successful playoff run.

While Ryan was enjoying Thanksgiving at sea, the 49ers reached out to him, expressing their interest in signing him due to their need for defensive reinforcements. With injuries affecting their safeties and struggles in their nickel defense, Ryan's experience and skill set were seen as valuable additions to the team's roster. Overall, Ryan's unexpected signing with the 49ers late in the season allowed him to extend his NFL career and make a meaningful contribution to the team's efforts on the field.
